Alan, Solons42 sorry to say I live in LA (the state not city). I was stationed in Atwater /Merced from 1990 through 1994 so visited there a lot. One of my wife's favorite malls. Unfortunately I did not get interested in researching my grandfather's career until after we shipped east and my mother passed down the scrapbook to me. Passed through there a year ago July but only had time to visit the mall (kept wife happy) eat and sleep before hitting the road as we headed back home. We were on an epic journey 6000 mile road trip. One suburban three kids, and 10 national parks.
I digress, love Sacramento and would love to come back someday to do some research. Did find the home they had built when he was playing there. My grandma served chicken dinners at the house to make a little extra money and feed the players, Great Depression era. Anyhow I appreciate all the info and I will be in contact. Since numbers were not used until 34 I will have to try to see if he had one in Portland (34) or Seattle (35) where he ended up after leaving the Solons.
